Bird Cams

3 there at the moment but now they are all so big I can't tell if one is the parent or if they are all the 'babies'

Parents legs are bright red, 'babies' will need another year to get there.

At the moment just one of the parents is there.

Two of the youngsters are having a real ding dong battle on the nest at the moment - diving at each other and jumping with wings spread - looks like a ral domestic Not sure but I think they might be hungry

Winter Approaches..Röttenbach: Storks hatchery

I think everyone must be diverted with the virus and oncoming Brext. Little recent news of the storks on the forum so to reduce stress levels I hunted down the link to the Rottenbach storks: Just the one bird balancing on one (thin) leg with a stiff breeze ruffling the feathers. Rather him than me.

I have't seen a stork on the nest for ages - just pigeons which I assumed had taken up residence for the winter - one there now as I type

I check in most evenings....what else is there to do! Usually see just one lonely stork standing on one leg. Is it mum, dad or one of the babies though?

just checked stork cam and both birds on the nest

I wish that they would invite the herons that keep visiting my garden out for a holiday in order to give my fish a break. I have to keep on telling the grandchildren that their favourite fish, which I have had to replace, have changed colour!!

 

[Rosie34]

They are getting up close and extremely personal this morning

 

[icampbell15]

I see there is one egg this morning! I think last year there was eventually five.

 

[Rosie34]

I never realised that they took turns in sitting on the nest - but they have just swapped places

 

[Rosie34]

It looked very cold and snowy yesterday and I can't see any egg in the nest today

 

[mike_dublin]

The two storks are just standing and I could spot the egg.
Sure looks cold and windy, so I hope the egg will get warmed again soon.

 

[icampbell15]

When I looked this morning there was only one stork standing over the egg. I thought it strange as that surely wouldn't help the egg? I keep hoping to see more eggs appear...

 

[Rosie34]

Looks to be at least another egg this morning

 

[icampbell15]

I'm sure there are 5 eggs this morning!
Both birds are so attentive, it's lovely to watch nature at it's best.

 

[Sparky]

There are definitely 5 eggs in the Hochstadt nest, i don't know about Roettenbach because i can't catch it when they aren't sitting on them .

 

[icampbell15]

Thank you Sparky. I hadn't seen that one....another one to watch.
